These three dragons appeared while sketchbook-casting for extras in my current #wip Wolf story. They didn’t get far but I’ve told them to stick around…story ideas are always simmering. #characterdesign

THE FALLEN by Laurence Binyon ❤️🖤 They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. (Extract) Drawing inspired by Italian sculptor Marino Marini. #armisticeday

Forest gossip. A visual for a thing way back. I’ve forgotten what exactly, but the trees haven’t. They know EVERYTHING. #charcoal

Birthday weekend. (Old dog) #toot

Ablutions.

Bit more wolf. #sketchbook

Goldfinch Pencil H11cm x W9cm Been watching some of these regular visitors to the garden a lot recently. Maybe too bling for some, I think these birds are great. Full of personality. Bit cantankerous at times, they always have an opinion about something.

Sketchbook face. #pencil

#happyhalloween 🖤 #brushpen

Tread carefully my friends… 🖤 #halloween2025 #charcoal

More #celebritytraitorsUK brush pen doodles. (No spoilers: featured here ‘past & present.’) #brushpen

A whiff of Halloween shenanigans perchance? #pencil #procreate

Not sure what’s going on here but he seems happy enough. #sketchbook

Ok Monday, what you got?

Be honest, who else forgot to change the clocks last night? And how long did it take to realise today? #GMT

Celebrating #InternationalArtistsDay 🙏🏻❤️

Brushpen doodles. Enjoying #CelebrityTraitorsUK everyone?

A sketchbook something. #pencil

Tools of the trade : Coffee Other stuff Pencil 15cm x 10cm Coloured in procreate.

Monday meh. #Procreate

Recent commission. Watercolour: H26cm x H17.5cm Friday fact: Was all set to say the Kookaburra is Australia’s national bird but a quick google and nope, that’ll be the emu. Currently open for bird commissions, DM if you’d like to chat.

Once you start drawing tigers there’s no going back. #pencil

Nervous pooch. #pencil

Old sketchbook c2016. A regular theme of mine; croc & wolf musicians, with that hint of relaxed morals and undisciplined behaviour. #moleskine

Moleskine shenanigans.

Another smudgy misfit. #sketchbook

You know you’re in trouble when even your characters are panicking about the deadline. #studiolife

Passed someone this morning that prompted this quick warm up. (To be fair she looked nothing like this). #warmupsketch

Onward. When the project you’ve worked on all year, watching deadlines pass by, has finally reached a clear path at last with an end in sight. #deadlines #studiolife

Another detail from the current book…matching Storm Amy’s mood this weekend. Take it easy. #wip

Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025 #thankyoujane 🙏🏻🖤

Bus stop. #brushpen

Making my way up to Wigtown in Scotland for a weekend of events. Drawing, stories…and drawing stories. www.wigtownbookfestival.com/uploads/file...

Adding a little colour to Gozzle’s cheeks from a pencil drawing of this unfortunate moment posted a few weeks back. #wip

Sunday scribble.

Another dubious character from a forgotten sketchbook.

Friday tipple. (Tea or gin?) #sketchbook

Nosy neighbour. I’ve been joined at the studio window this week by this slightly young, down-at-heel wood pigeon. It watches me watching him (or her) during these visits. At no point does it seem interested in the slightest. I’m feeling judged.

Today I’ll be mainly navigating this dark forest in photoshop. Pencil first. Digital shenanigans later.

Don’t you hate it when that happens? Introducing Gozzle, a wood sprite of dubious morals. For once, what happens here is not the wolf’s fault. Can’t show too much yet, but much more behind the scenes stuff on my process with this project in the lead up to publication next year. #wip

Autumn jaunt. Walking the autumn theme into the weekend. And a quick shameless plug that this is available as an A5 giclee print in my shop…along with many others, as well as original artwork - all at very affordable prices! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Davi...

Another one from my recent weekend habit of drawing people from my imagination… Keep telling myself I need to go out into the real world and draw from life. I really should.

Friday Toad. When afternoon tea is replaced with a cheeky alternative. Was once told Friday was ‘POETS day’ : Piss Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday. Being a true professional, I dont recognise this sentiment.

Oxford Toad. Yep, this happened to me a few years ago…twice. Only, I also managed to dip my face into the water. Not any other part of me, just my face. Pencil drawing, coloured in @procreate.com

More wolfing. #wip
